Goalkeepers

For this year’s Women’s World Cup roster, the United States has named 23 player players, of which three are goalkeepers. The three players who proved themselves and are getting the honor to represent this USA team are Alyssa Naeher, Ashlyn Harris, and Adrianna Franch. Out of the three, Franch will be the only experiencing her first World Cup, since Naeher and Harris were also called to the last one in 2015. But, regardless of that, this will be the first time any of these goalkeepers actually get some playing time and experience some action on a World Cup match.

All three of these goalkeepers played during their college careers in universities in the United States, they all play for the women’s soccer league in the United States—the NWSL—but all three for different teams, they all had their debut with the USWNT at different times, and they all have a different number of appearances with the team.This is why each of them bring something different to the table.
